Father Julio Grassi

Father Julio Grassi, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexual abuse of a minor who was staying at the “Felices los Ninos” children shelter, located in Hurlingham district, Greater Buenos Aires and was run by the priest, remains in liberty until the Criminal Court of Appeals of Buenos Aires rules on the appeals filed by the complaint and the prosecution.

Yesterday, the court received a writ of habeas corpus filed by the defense of Grassi.

The Court decided to analyze the appeal, rather than letting the Court of Guarantees take care of it.

Room #1 of the had planned to rule as soon as possible on the requests for immediate arrest, because according to estimations, the time the Court of Appeals would take to solve such subject would be no less than a year.
